Description:

Shell Brake Fluid 40 Plus is a high performance brake and clutch fluid with a minimum boiling point of 265°C [509°F], meeting or exceeding SAE J1704 and the FMVSS Nr.116 DOT 4 specifications and ISO 4925 Class 6 specifications. In addition, Shell Brake Fluid 40 Plus meets various severe corrosion requirements, incl. according to AFNOR.
The brake fluid forms an essential component in the braking system of a car. In service, the brake fluid absorbs moisture which causes a significant reduction in the boiling point of the brake fluid, with a consequent risk of vapour lock. Use of brake fluids meeting DOT 4 standard limits the effect of water absorption on the brake fluid boiling point.
Shell Brake Fluid 40 Plus provides extended system life to the brake components of a car by: i) offering a longer protection against corrosion during service life, i.e. by retaining a high reserve alkalinity over ageing, and ii) providing a better protection against corrosion at saline conditions.
Shell Brake Fluid 40 Plus has been designed for low viscosity performance at low temperature offering the potential of rapid response in advanced brake control systems, such as Electronic Stability Programme (ESP).
Shell Brake Fluids are completely miscible with one another and are compatible with other approved DOT glycol ether and borate ester brake fluids. They must not be mixed with silicone type or silicate ester type brake fluids.
